The Most Inspirational Lyrics to you.

[flyingfox2002]

Didn't have time to. Was "supposed" to be working on a school project. Procrastinating to post here.

They have so many great songs it's tough to list them all. But here is:

Really Love You
----------

A pair of unadornable hands
Brings out the warmth and is always supporting me*
Although sometimes nagging she always cares, I regret not knowing how to appreciate

My obsession with music she didn't agree with
But Mother's love never wavered
I am determined to wash away my internal struggles, her parental love will finally be repaid

The spring breeze brings rain and warms my heart through and through
A lifetime of tender care given without words

It is your such soothing gaze
That teaches me to steadfastly focus ahead
Reminding me even if I fall I should not give up
I can't explain how to repay the parental love in full
Love is vast and without bounds
Please let me say that I really love you

Still remember a pair of soothing hands
Still taking care of me without change
Dreams have finally come true today hope we can share the glory

-------

*literally, "dai chu wen nuan zai bei hou," says that the mother's hands is always on his back. It sounds kinda creepy in English, so I made it into always supporting him, which is what the verse means to say.

Probably can be translated better to sound better.

I remember during their '03 concert in Atlantic City, Beyond didn't actually play this song live. The only song they didn't play live that night if my memory is correct. They played a music video onscreen (a new version, without Ka Kui, full of Mahjong playing, floor sweeping, heading shaking hilarious moms)

I would like to link to the mp3s of these songs but I am afraid that might violate forum rules of no music sharing.

Back in undergraduate college, late 90's, I hosted a webpage and put my translations of a lot of their songs on it, but I forgot to save the files and lost them all after graduation.

"Exceptional"

By JoJo


Mmmm

You're beautiful but you don't know
Can't see what's there inside your soul
Always feelin like you're not good enough
You wish you could be someone else
Sometimes you just can't see yourself
But I can see just who you are, who you are

You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that?
You are nothing but exceptional
(Yeah)

You never think you measure up
Never smart or cool, or pretty enough
Always feeling different from all the rest, oh
You feel so out of place, you think you don't fit in
I think you're perfect in the skin you're in
You're just perfect just how you are, just how you are, yeah

[chorus]
You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that?
You are nothing but exceptional

If you could see the one I see when I see you
You'd know how lucky you are to be you
I see through into you
And you are

You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that? (You are)
You're exceptional the way you are
Don't need to change for nobody
You're incredible, anyone can see that
When will you believe that?
You are nothing but exceptional

"Bridge Over Troubled Water", Simon and Garfunkel

When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

For some reason, Bridge Over Troubled Water reminded me of this song.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where,
Who knows when
But I'm strong,
Strong enough to carry him.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

So on we go.
His welfare is my concern.
No burden is he to bear,
We'll get there.
For I know
We would not encumber me.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

If I'm laden at all,
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another.

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return.
While we're on the way to there,
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

He's my brother.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother...

[Jilly]

Drive - Incubus

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before and seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
But lately I beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

(Chorus)
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there

So, If I decide to waver my chance
To be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine
And hold my own and drive?

It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found

(Chorus)

Would you choose water over wine?
Hold the wheel and drive

(Chorus)

More Beatles greatness: "Hey Jude"

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.

And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

A crazy bunch of kids crash through that door
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

And leave the squares behind

Like they're losing their mind
You'll never see them frown
'Cause they're the nicest kids in town

Every afternoon You turn your T.V. on

And we know you turn the sound up
When your parents are gone, yeah

And then you twist and shout For your favorite star
And once you've practiced every step That's in your repertoire
You better come on down And meet the nicest kids in town

Nice white kids Who like to lead the way
And once a month We have our "negro day!"
And i'm the man who keeps it spinnin' round
Mr. Corny Collins
With the latest, greatest Baltimore sound!!

So every afternoon Drop everything
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)

Who needs to read and write

One of the best Indie bands, The Pixies - Wave of Mutilation

Cease to resist, giving my goodbye
drive my car into the ocean
you'll think i'm dead, but i sail away
on a wave of mutilation
a wave


i've kissed mermaids, rode the el nino
walked the sand with the crustaceans
could find my way to mariana
on a wave of mutilation,
wave of mutilation

Hero by Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear



And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
and In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in you$this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://www.metrolyrics.com/images/l/10841.jpg')

[remember_Cedric]

You never give your heart to a stranger
Or tell your secrets to a friend
Youll put your heart in mortal danger
They all desert you in the end

The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away

They say that nothing lasts forever
And even true love turns to pain
Dont trust your feelings to a stranger
Dont want to go through this again

The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away

The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away

Dont ever give your heart to a stranger
Dont ever think that you can go on
Youll put your heart in mortal danger
Turn around and love is gone

The more you live the more you love
Or so they say
The more you love the more you go away (x3)


//These are really good lyrics and very true indeed.

What do you define as inspirational?

There is blood in my hands there is blood in my eyes
With blood in my voice I SCREAM AS YOU DIE!
Thirsting for vengeance and mounds of the slain
Shaking the forest onto the plain

Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in battle
I laugh at my fate
NOW PAY IN BLOOD WHEN YOUR BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED
YOU'RE NEVER FORGIVEN TILL DEATH IS FULFILLED!

excerpt from "power of they sword" by manowar

What is more inspirational then blood?

[remember_Cedric]

Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home (Mmmmmmmm)

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home (Mmmm, I’ve got to go home)

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
Because this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come and gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel Alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
